Is it normal to avoid mirrors

My 15 year old daughter is waiting for a diagnosis of autism.

She has taken  all her mirrors out of the room, including her door of her wardrobe which had mirrors on it.

Her wardrobe  door is heavy and I can not believe she was able to pull it off. 

Is this behaviour normal.

  • I can’t comment on your daughter’s behaviour but I can understand why someone would not want mirrors in their room.

    I dislike looking at myself in mirrors and I often forget to check that I’m dressed properly and look presentable. Looking in the mirror is the one stage of getting ready to go out that isn’t intuitive.
